Butch

I emailed about meeting Butch as I live in VA and am hoping to add another Cav to my family before June. It seems that he has a family who'll be adopting him so long as their scheduled home visit goes well.

Mommy Bell- they are a great rescue. OBG has been around at least 7 or 8 years and actually the first rescue (other than a shelter) I'd ever heard of. It says the Cavaliers were found abandoned along with one of the cockers they have.

I had some dealings with OBG Cocker Spaniel Resuce a couple years ago when we were looking for a small dog. We ended up getting Buddy, our Blenheim CKCS, directly from a breeder, but we considered rescue and look at Cavaliers and at Cocker Spaniels. From my investigation OBG Cocker Spaniel Rescue was one of the rescues in my area (albeit 350 miles away) with not just a good but an excellent reputation. I actually inquired about several of their dogs and was impressed by the thoughtfulness of their fosters. One of the other things I like about them is that they will take dogs that are not Cockers that someone might have mistaken for a cocker and help those dogs along their way as well.

What a coincidence. Mom and Dad took us to a Pet Expo this last weekend here in Virginia and this rescue group, OBG, had an information booth. Since it involved Cocker Spaniels, Mom and Dad didn't pay much attention until they came out and introduced themselves. They said Sydney looked a lot like a Cavalier they just adopted out. They also said they were going to pick up two more Cavaliers that afternoon (Saturday). Mom and Dad gave them their names and phone numbers and offered to help place them or even foster them if needed. Not sure what the status is as of today, but we'll try to keep everyone informed. If any of you know of Cavaliers needing rescue here in Virginia, drop Ruby and I a note and our Mom and Dad will help.
